ESSENDON v MELBOURNE - NOT LIVE ON TV

[sheller891]

How can a FINALS game between two melbourne team, not be live on TV. It's a disgrace and I hope the A.F.L do something, to make sure it is live...
Was this the deal with Channel - 10? How come, all the other games are live?

Your thoughts?

boo hoo.

not a sell out, not live.

 

[pazza]

Too risky a move.

Need to also think of the amount of local footy finals on in Melbourne alone tomorrow (at least 4 grand finals that I can think of).

 

[Ari]

Will this game sell out?
Do standing room need to sell out too for it to be live?
Im going to the game, just curious though above.

 

[Karbassiyoon]

why should everybody on the mountains be rewarded by getting the game live - vindicating thier decision not to go.

with melbourne involved live TV threatens to paralyze the crowd.

Nope! Just means ALL the tickets will end up being bought by Essendon fans!

 

[coxon]

ah, thanks sydney channel 10 for showing it live here...

Leave the finals to those actually competing and focus all that negativity you harbour on another activity.

Maybe even come up with some new material for next season if it's not beyond you.

im sure if it was a sellout Channel 10 would show it live. But Channel 9 suck, i remember there was a game this year on friday night that was a sellout, but of course, Burkes backyard is an awesome show, and who would miss that for a stupid game of live football?

 

[Benevolent Ert]

I think you will find that the Saturday afternoon final in week 1 has NEVER been telecast live into Melbourne - even back when 7 had the rights

On Map 1 on your Melways you'll find the MCG. Jolimont and Richmond are the nearest stations.

Burkes backyard is a ratings winner. Not everybody wants to watch football, and of those that do, 8:30 is a mor ecivilised time than 7:30 when many people are still getting home from work, feeding their families etc.

How come, all the other games are live?

The other games are all interstate, thus live into Melbourne as it's not telecast against the gate.

If the Melbourne supporters turn up, the game would be shown live.

 

[Bomaz_Magic]

Burke's Barkyard has the ability to actually paralise your brain with its dull and monotonous interviews and tips on gardening. It is not a ratings winner, rather a psychologicaly (sp.) effective tool, that lures the old who are too slow to change the channel and those sufferig the affects of puffing the magic dragon.

 

[browa02]

well maybe if your supporters would hurry up and get tickets it mght and well be a sell-out. if collingwood was playing melbourne i am sure that it would be sold out.

Oh shut up, its not sold out so it won't be shown live. Only 46,000 tickets have been sold.

 

[dave_04]

Collingwood? they still going around?

its only melbourne this week so alot of essendon supporters r leaving it to the last minute to get tickets.

 

[dave_04]

50k tickets sold, only 5k - 10k left for public while the rest given to MCC.

 

[HFC082]

Thanks to my satellite...i'll be watching this game from the comfort of my living room

I really do feel for you all who have to watch the delayed telecast

 

[Port_Magpies04]

How Boring It shouldnt even be shown on TV you should be Lucky its even on

 

[tdubfleet]

Opposed to Port, if no one shows up the game is shown live.

 

[SydneyBomber]

If you were a real supporter you would go to the game rather than complain about it not being live on television.

I'd love to go to the game, but I can't... I've already bought tickets and thier useless so I wanted to watch the game at least...
